A mass was held at Westminster Cathedral today (December 15), attended by her husband Benedict and children Lisha, 14, and Junal, 16.

The teenagers made a joint tribute, saying they were "shattered" at losing their mother, reports BBC News.

"The house is an empty dwelling without your presence," they said.

"You were the core of the family that kept us together. In times of difficulty, you showed us the way forward to happiness and success.

"Your priority for us was a good education and a bright future. You taught us right from wrong which we appreciate. You worked tirelessly to give us everything that we have today."

Lisha said after the service: "We love you Mom, sleep in peace and please watch over us until we meet again in Heaven. We will always love you and keep you close to our hearts."

Benedict added in his own tribute: "My wife, you were the light in my darkness, who always showed me the way forward. From the day we met, you always stood by me in times of hardship and happiness. I feel a part of me has been ripped out.

"Your loss is a very painful one and nobody can take that place in my life ever again. I love you and miss you forever."
